Some newer writers pride themselves
on having absolutely no grammatical
or spelling errors in their stories.
The thing is…
no reader has ever
recommended a story
based on
its grammar and spelling.
Readers want solid grammar,
solid spelling
but they’ll tolerate some errors.
They don’t want perfect.
They’re looking for readable,
for good enough.
Striving for perfection
in this area is a waste of resources.
“Everyone competes on something.
That thing you compete on
is your most.
The other things you do,
those need to be enough.”
If your prospects would be happy
with ‘good enough,’
don’t strive for perfection.
Spend your additional resources
on some other area.
